Long Island Divorce and Appeals Attorney

Suffolk County Divorce Lawyer

Going through divorce is difficult enough and choosing the right divorce attorney is one of the most important decisions you will make. The decisions you make during your divorce will have lifelong effects on you and your children. Even when the divorce is over, the issue of enforcing the judgment still remains. Post judgment enforcement of equitable distribution and child support can be filed if your ex spouse is not complying with the judgment of divorce. Child support, maintenance and parenting time can all be modified following the divorce.

For over twenty five years, J. Douglas Barics has been serving all of Long Island and is familiar with the Suffolk and Nassau Courts.

During this time of your life, you need more than just straight answers, you need to understand how to ask the right questions.

J. Douglas Barics has been teaching clients how to ask these questions during our representation of individuals in divorce matters in Suffolk County, Nassau County, and New York City.

Long Island Appeals Lawyer

Sometimes the courts make mistakes, and fixing those mistakes is done through an appeal. An experienced appeals attorney will be able to craft a strong brief which focuses on the errors made by the trial judge, and be able to convey complex matters in a clear fashion, allowing the appellate division to have an understanding of what happened in your case. For over 25 years, we have successfully represented individuals in appeals in both the First and Second Departments.

Constructive Trusts Attorney

Constructive trusts are an extremely powerful tool that every divorce lawyer should know. The ability to litigate a constructive trust case independently of a divorce action brings a whole new level of solutions to people who have faced an injustice. Unlike other areas of the law, constructive trusts are flexible by design, allowing remedies to be fashioned when the facts of a case don't fit neatly elsewhere.

Partition Lawyer

A partition action seeks to compel the sale of jointly owned property. Unlike equitable distribution, the right to partition exists independent of marriage. Partitions are often necessary if a property is acquired prior to the marriage, or if a non party also holds title along with one or both spouses. The laws governing partition actions are complex and are significantly different than equitable distribution. We represent individuals in partition actions both as stand alone cases and in conjunction with divorces.

Foreclosure Defense Lawyer

Foreclosures are based upon the contract between a homeowner and a lender, and many rules exist to safeguard homeowners. When a lender tries to circumvent these rules, the court may deny the foreclosure itself. Since 2010, J. Douglas Barics has been providing representation to individuals in need of a foreclosure defense.

Family Court Attorney

Family Court has jurisdiction to handle all family law related matters other than a divorce. Custody and child support are commonly held in Family Court or Supreme Court as part of a divorce. Family Court also has jurisdiction over child neglect matters, termination of parental rights, and juvenile delinquency matters.
